How to care for your Paeonia Mlokosewitchii

  • Planting: Prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. The plant should be planted in full sun or partial shade and should be spaced to allow enough room for growth. Planting in the Autumn is recommended for best results.
  • Watering: Needs to be watered regularly, especially during the growing season. Water deeply once or twice a week, making sure not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. During the Autumn and Winter, reduce watering to allow the plant to go into dormancy.
  • Fertilising: Benefits from a balanced fertiliser applied in early Spring and again in early Summer. Avoid over-fertilising as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.
  • Pruning: Deadheading spent blooms can help promote more flowers, but avoid cutting the stem too close to the plant as this can damage the buds for the following year. Prune back the foliage to the ground in the Autumn after it has died back naturally.

By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your Paeonia Mlokosewitschii plant thrives and produces beautiful blooms year after year, adding a touch of delicate beauty and lovely fragrance to your garden or floral arrangements.
